Short
Summary of the book:
This is an adorable story about a reindeer,
his friend and some bullies. Ronaldo stands up to the bullies, makes friends
with a baby wolf and proves what others think is not important but being a
friend is. I absolutely loved this story and would love to read more from this
author.
What
I liked about the book:
I loved the story, the pictures and the
cheekiness of the characters. I’m so glad I grabbed this book when it was on
offer free and immediately recommended it to a friend with an eight-year-old
daughter. I’m sure she’ll love it too.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
What’s not to like? I loved it.
My
favourite bits in the book:
The adorable wolf cub stood up to bullies for
her friend Ronaldo and when the entire population went on the look-out for a
dangerous wolf she dressed in Ronaldo’s pyjamas to look like and adorable Dalmation
puppy.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
There was no least favourite bit to find in
the book. It was adorable, laugh-out hilarious, with strong morals and I was
sorry the book finished.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
Yes,
this is the second book in the series and the author has written and illustrated
several more of her own books. The author recently released another book in the
series.
What
books could this be compared to and why?

Description by Author:
Ronaldo and Rudi discover friends come in all shapes and
sizes as they embark on a superhero mission to help a lost wolf cub called
Ernie find her pack.
Rudi comes up with a plan to find the pack and deliver a
message during a speed test at flying school. But Ronaldo isn’t totally onboard
with the idea. He desperately wants to break the speed record and the plan
means jeopardising his chance of becoming champion.
Will Ronaldo go for glory… or will he discover the true
meaning of friendship and sacrifice the race for Ernie?
Bumbling Wing Commander Blitsen, head of The Reindeer Flying
Academy, and mischievous brothers, Dasher, Comet and Prancer also feature in
this fun tale of bravery and friendship.

I was born in Hounslow, Middlesex in the south of England.
As a child, I loved drawing and took private art classes with a wonderful
teacher called, Pearl Lee. She had an abundance of Disney magazines, and I
would paint the characters on wood, card, canvas or anything else I was allowed

Travelling became my new obsession.
After Sixth Form College, I intended to go to art school,
